This is a story of a woman named Leena who is left at the altar. She is totally blind sided when she discovers that not only has her finance cheated on her, but is planning to marry the other woman shortly after their canceled wedding day. It wouldn’t have been so bad if she and her ex-finance didn’t have a child together and lived in a small town where the problems and woes of others is the main form of entertainment for the towns folk.

Leena is concerned that her son’s stepmother is not what she seems and goes looking into the new Mrs. Collins past. What she finds will turn her life and those of the towns people upside down.

This was a very well written story that was easy to read. It was a page turn to say the least. It draws you into the story and makes it hard for you to stop reading it. The characters had depth and were well scripted. Even with a supernatural storyline, it felt like I was right in the middle of the story.

With that being said, I gave this book 5 stars which is rare for me. I can usually find something I don’t like. Even the ending was good.

This is a good read so far. I’m almost done and I can’t wait to see what happens at the end.

In the small town of Carolville, Louisiana, no one knows that Adira Collins inherited mystic powers from her great-grandmother. All they know is that she’s beautiful, poised, graceful, and ruthless—especially when it comes to love. And no one knows that more than Leena Williams, who was all set to marry the man of her dreams until Adira swooped into town and stole the man’s heart.

Being left at the altar is bad enough, but Leena and her ex share custody of their son, so she has to see the new Mrs. Collins on a regular basis.

And it burns every time she does.

But soon, Leena starts to suspect that there is more to Adira Collins than meets the eye. And it’s not because she owns some

kinky lingerie shop or allegedly insulted the pastor’s wife: it’s the strange way she can make a door close without touching it, or take one look at something and make it drop dead at her feet. Leena starts digging for answers and soon discovers that, unlike her public persona, Adira’s true nature is somewhere on the other side of grace. She also learns, a little too late, that some secrets are better left buried.

This book was phenomenal. It is a story of a woman who finally took the reins of her life into her on hands and leaves a dead in marriage. As soon as her life seems to be going the way she always planned, a gorgeous man falls in her lap. She has to decide whether to fight for this relationship or keep the peace with family and friends.
